The Indian Navy P-8 Poseidon aircraft has transported essential supplies, including food, from Mauritius to the cyclone-hit Agalega Archipelago, enabling crucial relief operations.

All 3 representatives of the constituency are present on the island, Minister Aadil Ameer Meea and Member of Parliament Eshan Juman left Mauritius onboard the Indian Navy flight while Minister Shakeel Mohamed was already on the islands, arriving via a National Coast Guard Dornier.

The new airstrip in Agalega, built in collaboration with India, facilitated the Poseidon’s landing, a capability previously unattainable due to the old airstrip’s limitations. Additionally, the CGS Baracuda is en route to Agalega, carrying building materials and further supplies to aid in the recovery efforts following Cyclone Chido.

Cyclone Chido, the strongest storm to hit Mayotte in a century, has left at least several hundred feared dead after devastating the French Indian Ocean territory Saturday.

Rescue operations face hurdles from damaged airports and electricity outages in the impoverished archipelago. François-Xavier Bieuville, Mayotte's prefect, estimated the deaths could reach thousands. Emergency teams and 80 tons of supplies have been dispatched, but aid efforts remain challenging.

Local hospitals, schools, and homes were heavily affected. Residents described “apocalyptic scenes” as they cleared debris. France and the EU pledged support while neighboring nations like Madagascar also braced for the storm's impact.

The International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) reported that on Saturday, Dec. 7, 2024, that its Namhatta Center in Dhaka district was set on fire in a targeted attack early in the day. The attack destroyed the deities of Sri Sri Laxmi Narayan and other temple properties, raising concerns about the safety of Hindus in the region.

ISKCON Kolkata Vice President Radharamn Das reported that miscreants attacked the Shri Shri Radha Krishna and Mahabhagya Lakshmi Narayan Temples in Dhour village, under Turag Police Station, between 2-3 a.m. Das condemned the violence and urged followers to practice their faith discreetly. He also highlighted the continued threats to ISKCON properties since the interim government replaced the Awami League in August, emphasizing the detention of Hindu community leader Chinmoy Krishna Das without bail.

Despite the gravity of the attack, most major news outlets have remained silent, sparking criticism over the lack of coverage of violence against religious minorities. Das further revealed threats to ban ISKCON in Bangladesh and warned of escalating ultimatums against its devotees.

Separately, a 17-year-old ISKCON follower fled to India after fundamentalists threatened her family. The incident underscores the growing risks faced by ISKCON adherents in the country.

The United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) announced it is halting aid deliveries through Gaza's main cargo crossing, Kerem Shalom, due to threats from armed gangs looting convoys. The agency criticized Israel's restrictive policies and attacks on public security infrastructure, citing them as key factors in the breakdown of law and order.

The suspension exacerbates Gaza's humanitarian crisis, where hundreds of thousands live in dire conditions and face a second cold winter. Many Palestinians rely on international aid to survive, especially as famine looms in northern Gaza, which has been largely isolated by Israeli forces.

UNRWA officials stated that trucks attempting to deliver aid were repeatedly looted, making operations untenable. While the Israeli military claimed efforts to facilitate aid, it accused UNRWA of ties to Hamas, which the agency denies.

Syria’s armed opposition announced its capture of Damascus, with President Bashar al-Assad reportedly fleeing the country after rebels swept through Syria in a shocking 11-day offensive, ending Assad’s 24-year rule, Sunday, Dec. 8.

The operation, led by the Islamist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) and Turkish-backed Syrian National Army, began Nov. 27. Rebels secured key cities, including Aleppo and Hama, before advancing on the capital.

HTS, formerly al-Nusra Front linked to al-Qaida, declared control, raising concerns over governance. Regional powers, including Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Russia, called for a political resolution.

The Cabinet has approved lowering the promotion criteria for students to Grade 12 (HSC/Lower), requiring three credits instead of five. This decision aims to ease academic progression and reduce dropout rates among struggling students.

Critics argue it may dilute academic standards and creating a "false sense of progress" for students, while proponents highlight its potential to improve retention and provide opportunities for students from disadvantaged backgrounds.

Educators are now tasked with ensuring that quality education is maintained as the new policy takes effect.
